When you do as much construction as we do, you develop a relationship with staff at each of the hardware stores in the area. Mike is my favourite. Always a smile and a tease. His mom lives across the bay, so he has popped by the property from time to time to see what we are up to. This afternoon he came out for a quick beer and so we sat on the porch of the soon-to-be Cook House and chatted. The brisk breeze off the bay quickly dried the sweat I'd worked up insulating the peak of the kitchen ceiling, chilling me. But the view was well worth it. I hadn't sat and truly enjoyed it before.
Given that life at the cottage is lived mostly outdoors, it seems almost redundant to think about trying to get outside for 30 minutes... I spend much of the day trying to get inside!
